By locating a certain critical attitude towards the episteme of Modernity, present in all three of these thinkers, the author explores the ideas and the discursive steps that connect Adorno’s notion of Modernity to that of Foucault, and Foucault’s ideas to the political theory of Giorgio Agamben. What crystallises from this discursive chain connecting the oeuvres of the three thinkers, is a certain ideology of Modernity which could be called the “ideology of separation”. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/97121 O povo e a polícia: conflitos sociais em O cortiço, de Aluísio Azevedo, e Recordações do escrivão Isaías Caminha, de Lima Barreto; The People and the Police: Social Conflicts in O Cortiço, by Aluísio Azevedo, and Recordações do escrivão Isaías Caminha, by Lima Barreto ; ; The article focuses on the social conflicts depicted in two excerpts from the novels O cortiço (1890) by Aluísio Azevedo, and Recordações do escrivão Isaías Caminha (1909) by Lima Barreto. The conflicts take the form of confrontations between the people and the police, and the standpoint from which they are presented at once reveals and distorts elements of the historical context. This is the period characterised by the redefinition of work relations and by the policies of the sanitisation and urbanisation of Rio de Janeiro. The excerpts capture two moments within a continuing process and reveal some of the consequences of imposing modernisation on a society, such as the elimination of the “expendable” population from the city centre, and the repression of popular uprisings that were opposing the approaching Modernity. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/97120 Euclides da Cunha nas vascas da modernidade; Euclides da Cunha in the Throes of Modernity ; ; Euclides da Cunha embraced the role of posthumous champion of the backlanders slaughtered by the Brazilian army during the Canudos War. He claimed to have written an “avenging book”. Coming of age at the turn of the century, his work would bear witness to a Modernity that was both historical and aesthetic. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/97124 A Literatura do passado e os desafios da modernidade; The Literature of the Past and the Challenges of Modernity ; ; Based on a belief in the “historical” importance of memory and its role in the formation of collective consciousness, the article discusses the importance of teaching the literature of the past in contemporary times, with a particular focus on the literatures of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
